[@Lansamatv]

you can do the same for godot

[@SashoSuper]

​@@Lansamatvindeed, but godot is a game engine, while python is primarily used for machine learning, computer vision etc, so basically everything learned here can be applied in other spheres of python development.

The art for this is crazy good for a "tutorial" game. Someone poured their heart and soul into these

Oh, I was checking your channel for a fun pygame to make was not expecting a new video to drop. Truly an amazing tutorial.

[@tredecillion3207]

Man, you not only made me learn python, but you created a passion for programming and game development as a whole. Your tutorials are awesome, thank you so much for all the effort you put into them

[@IOSALive]

Clear Code, I loved this video so much, I had to hit the like button!

[@FlyiingFairy]

I'm so looking forward to the turn-based logic part, thank you so much for all the amazing tutorials.

[@Rundas69420]

I think that it might not be the best idea to hardcode the names of objects which should be rendered on top of everything else. Especially when expanding the game, which I'm definitely gonna do. Went for a boolean property in tiled and checked whether that prop is true in the code. Other than that, huge thanks for this 11 hour free banger video. Can't stress enough how well done your tutorials are^^

[@ClearCode]

yeah, there are some things that could definitely be done better but hindsight is 20/20 😅 glad you like it though!

[@zeksy7989]

You're my go-to for learning python further now, keep up the good work man, much appreciate the hard work you put into these videos. I don't usually comment on videos but again coming across quality content like this one isn't quite easy.

[@gsdealer7691]

Can`t believe this tutorial is all for free ... you are amazing

[@wauthethird]

It's insane that this vid isn't getting more views. Knowing how your vids usually perform, it's gotta be pretty rough. Don't give up though!

awesome, Im starting today and will hopefully finish within a week

[@hectorramsey318]

Insanely good Ive been learning so much its amazing how all the basics I learned for python are finally coming all together for a project I actually enjoy

[@3ler4never]

I love your tutorials, please dont stop making them. Looking forward to recreating this one

[@uniroo8795]

My dream is to create a Pokemon game with Python combining multiple regions having go through Ash adventure. Have followed Zelda en Beginner video. This is unbelievable so magnificent the work you put in creating top tier tutorial videos. I am stoked to see this one!!! You are a Legend!!!

[@CassyCodes]

This looks so good! I’m very tempted to take a break from godot and learn python!

[@ClearCode]

Just wait for the Godot stuff I'll do later this year; it's gonna be sick :D

[@CassyCodes]

@@ClearCode I’m incredibly excited for it!! Thank you for all the education!

[@blackeyedme]

@@ClearCode Yeah if you can make these types of tutorials in Godot instead, it will be perfect. While Pygame is cool to learn/brush-up on Python, its not really industry ready, where Godot far exceeds it as a proper game engine. Definitely a gap in the YT market of proper Godot tutorials of this caliber.

[@lukaLondaridze]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I hope this one succseeds greatly!

[@1just_josh421]

I love your pygame projects keep it up please there so good

[@InfiniteCoder01]

1:07:56 Now I have to live, knowing that frame_index will grow infinitely and python's dynamic number sizing (not sure, what it's called) will slow the game down after years of running nonstop

37:02 Delta time is good enough for most cases, but sometimes it's just better to use fixed update for everything but rendering

[@healplease]

Hello ClearCode, this video is magnicifient, like like the others! I wanted to ask, why do you choose to upload 12-hour video instead of splitting it into 24 30-minute videos unified in a project playlist?

[@ClearCode]

because then each video would get much fewer views and I wouldn't get a sponsorship (which basically finances the entire operation)

[@InfiniteCoder01]

12hr format is kinda charming when combined with pygame Pokémon development and chill live coding. I really enjoy those videos

[@potatocat6855]

the wait is finally over!!!! time to spend the next 11hrs to complete this : )

[@uatch]

only 11 h ???? personnally i know that it's gonna be a lot igger than that XD

[@InfiniteCoder01]

2:10:43 I normally sort by the bottom edge of the sprite, because it's supposed to be in contact woth the ground at the sprite position, unlike the center, which is height-dependent. But for the grass, this value actually supposed to be the center, since it's not placed vertically

[@pichuelanewman7135]

Man i love your videos ❤

[@nurunnahar4398]

Thanks a lot for creating another tutorial ❤❤

[@InfiniteCoder01]

[5:03:50] I guess, collidepoint is checking X range [left; right) and Y range [top; bottom) (not including right X and bottom Y). This is for the same reason, we have list indices start with zero and len(list) is not a valid index

[@ClearCode]

yup, I should have explained that one better!

[@pedrenriquegg]

I was wondering when this was going to drop. It was such a natural follow-up after pydew valley

[@Geographyball1]

Interesting!

[@josueibarra6570]

Well, I'll see you in 11+ hours! Your tutorials are really clear 👀 and easy to follow, thank you deeply for posting these on YT. Could you do one for the Defold Engine?

[@AliensCorp]

Wow! Thank you!❤

[@prfctstrm]

I haven't watched this yet, and I am not a python developer, but I've always wanted to know how to code an RPG battle system, so I'm going to try follow this tutorial in another language and engine, and hope I can make something good out of it.

[@3w4n86]

You are awesome

[@Kokoz40]

WOW. Everything is amazing. And you are amazing for putting all the work and giving it to the world. THANK YOU P.S. How do I hide text in the brackets like at 4:40, where it shows { . . . } I use VSCode

[@ClearCode]

next to functions, classes and while/for/if statements there should be an arrow if you have over the area to the left of the text, click on that and it will be collapsed. There is also a hotkey where you first press Ctrl + K and then Ctrl + 1, that collapses all functions and methods (stackoverflow.com/questions/42660670/collapse-all-methods-in-visual-studio-code for more detail)

self.rect = self.image.get_frect(topleft = pos) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ AttributeError: 'pygame.surface.Surface' object has no attribute 'get_frect'. Did you mean: 'get_rect'? What should I do?

[@ashersilver7388]

make sure you have pygame-ce installed, not the original pygame. would be best to remove pygame first then install pygame-ce

[@SkyFly19853]

Real Nice !

[@imaguyyesmale]

OH I GET IT i installed python 3.12 from other repo, installed pygame-ce and pytmx then i ran it on the terminal...fantastic!

[@Twelveoglock1]

Nice! Still waiting for new godot tutorial to drop!

[@maikelvangrootel3843]

Hey clear code, very cool tutorial I just finished it, I did notice one minor thing in my code, that maybe you could help with. If you go into the battle with the fisherman with the three monsters being: 0: Monster('Charmadillo', 30), 1: Monster('Friolera', 29), 2: Monster('Larvea', 3), and you only use scratch on the top monster, the initiative will go to 100 for the top monster, but then also be killed soft locking the game. Should there be an initiative reset if a monster's health if lowered below 0?

[@orlandoromero1289]

Would you consider doing a 3D-based video at some point? I know pygame doesn't really support it directly, but it could work, for instance, with something like raylib (it has bindings for python) or pygame + pyopengl. Something like Ursina/Panda3D (or even Godot) could also work, but the thing I appreciate in your videos is that it's all about the code without it being about learning a specific API. If you do end up doing something in 3D, I would enjoy a similar approach, where whatever framework/library/engine is only used to handle basic input and to draw things on the screen.

[@KalifSSJ]

Thx for info pygame-ce

youtubeの翻訳を使っていつもありがたく見ています。 正確な時間はわかりませんが、長い動画だと途中でほんやくされなくなります。 3時間くらいだと全て翻訳される様なので、長い動画を区切ったバージョンもアップしていただけないでしょうか？

This game is so amazing bro😍 I will try to make this type of game in javascript🔥🔥

[@GarrisonStudios]

Top tier. This shouldn't be on KZbin for free. It should be on something like Udemy or Skillshare. Amazing.

[@ashersilver7388]

he has a udemy, i think this video is up there too.

[@HBHBILAL07]

I hope that the next video will be about Unreal Engine and a 3D game. Good luck

[@chigstardan7285]

I highly doubt that. He focuses on Godot and pygame plus some obscure python gui libraries. Also, his next video will be on the ultimate introduction to Godot 3d

[@HBHBILAL07]

Thanks for the clarification, Bro. Do you know any channel like his, but it works on Unreal Engine? I would be very grateful to you if you knew. Once again, thanks, man.

Hello! I'm very very fond of your tutorials and the way you showcase, explain and the general vibes. I just finished the beginner tutorial for pygame and now I feel a bit lost, I can't really find a "intermediate" tutorial or the next step for beginners, I'm trying to make my own game right now, a very simple one but I get stuck pretty much all the time and now it's really hard for me, so I was just wondering if you have any recomendations to go about after watching your beginner friendly tutorial? ;)

[@alexznncxij]

I love your tutorials,

[@maxfrischdev]

Christian did it again?! 😮😮 ❤❤❤

[@yyvan5125]

have you considered using type information in your code? i would say that its a good practice in python, which would be pretty useful to teach people learning python using your videos.
